(NST) – PORT KLANG: A day after Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) strategic director Rafizi Ramli announced on Twitter his decision to quit his Selangor government post, the Kapar member of parliament has inflicted on the party another damaging tweet.

“I don’t know whether this is true or not but if it is true, this reflects PKR’s true nature where its leadership and members can be influenced by outsiders, including business people,” he said after the closing of a three-month Indian women entrepreneurship training programme, here, yesterday.

Some 100 Indian women nationwide enrolled in the three-month programme, fully supported by the ministry to prepare them to open nurseries and become preschool teachers and kindergarten owners.

He said the programme, conducted by Eduwis Sdn Bhd, was part of the government’s effort to elevate the Indian community’s socio-economic standing. “It is my hope that graduates can open their own nurseries and kindergartens and continue to seek knowledge and contribute to the society and their family.

“Little by little, through programmes like this, we can improve the Indian community’s quality of life and reduce other issues plaguing it.”
